May be A daft question but is it ok to jack a dolomite up under the diff? (73' sprint) I have got to adjust the handbrake.all The rear brakes have been rebuilt with new parts but having trouble with one side dragging. Cheers rich

Do it on the back axle in the centre it should be fine mate, just put some axle stands under while you work

Absolutely, it's the safest bit of the back end to jack up (don't ever jack on the jacking points!). Make sure to use axle stands though.
